LeQuire sculpted Dream Forest<\/em><\/strong>, nine elongated, interpretive human torsos, assembled together on a colossal scale, with tree-like stature. In a darkened room, the viewer walks among the highlighted, 12-foot tall human torsos as if they are in a dream forest. To continue the exhibit and to help bring the forest into the room, LeQuire created 8-foot tall prints for the walls, woodblock prints on paper embossed with leaves and inked.<\/p>\n

LeQuire wrote about a series of dreams he had, and in collaboration with author, Madison Bell, edited them into narrative poetic forms which LeQuire incised in the sculpture, embedding them as part of the final surface texture.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

\u201cAlan is a really original sculptor who has spent lot of his career doing commissions or half-commission work where it\u2019s negotiated with somebody else. This is his biggest, most significant work that comes out of his inner life,\u201d<\/em> Bell says, \u201c<\/em>Dream Forest is showing how our relationship with the natural world is the core of what makes us human.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

LeQuire sculpted Dream Forest<\/em> directly in plaster and painting the figures for exhibit indoors. Ultimately, as the edition sells, the human\/tree forms will be cast in bronze. Read Artist\u2019s Statement<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>
